In a typical Javascript workflow, near-instant feedback is the baseline.

I really like how Facebook's Hack has a local file system monitor which incrementally compiles on file changes. I haven't used it yet, but it sounds like a nearly ideal compromise.

Typescript has a command line option for this as well.

As far as I can tell, the language would also support a non-validating mode that would be more or less instantaneous (the transformations it performs are all local, and none of them involve knowledge of the types involved).

Neat, I'll need to look into that.
